President Trump's proposed $1.8 billion fund for alleged government "weaponization" victims has been halted. Republican lawmakers in Congress strongly opposed the plan. This move comes as senators returned after a break and faced an impasse with the president over border funding. The fund faced legal challenges and political uproar. Federal judges have temporarily halted it pending further review.
